but in ways so diverse that no concentrated
brillancy is visible. Weddings are in
vogue, and several stylish ones have dis
tingushed the week, but nothing in them
was singular. In nothing do fashions
change less than in marriage. The bride of
one year is just about the same as the bride
of tother year. Dinner parties, high teas,
equestrianism and rounds of formal calls
fill the time of the bellies. Charity gather
ings are frequent. A noted one of these
was Jewish, and it brought together the
fashionable Israelites very handsomely.
MANY ELEGANT FRENCH WRAPS
in faille Francois and jet and black velvet
and jet We're exhibited in the stylish short
shapes now fashionable. A little wrap of
faille Francois, with close-titting back
and loose front. was finished with short
dolman sleeves reaching to the elbow and
richly trimmed with jet Another little
mantle was formed of velvet and wide band
| of passementerie, composed of faceted nail
heads of jet. A cose-ftting bodice wrap
of fallle Francois was made with
a full Fedora front of black lace,
trimmed with full jet fringes
ending in spikes of jet and finished with
wide ruff1es of black lace. A number of
stylish little English coats were made of
gray, navy blue and other cloth colors;
these coats lined, as all English tailor
coats are, throughout with surah silks.
Black coats in covert style, with Tapped
seams and other English styles, were
shown in diagonal cOrk-screw cloth and
Kersey. Long ulSters were exhibit
| ed in drabs, solid colors and
checks; the finest ulsters are finished
throughout like gentleman'S fine
spring overcoat. with silk Innings. The
Arab coat is new. long coat, with full
gathered back and hood like an Arabian
burnous, which is lined with silk the shade
of the coat and is shown in the new drabs
or dove colors, or in delicate gray. These
coats are trimmed with heavy passementerie
cords and balls to match the coat
in color. and fastened by fine pearl
buttons. A characteristic feature of
these new shapes is the combination
of lace with q lavish trimming of
jet. In shape. the mantels remain, in the
most part. short at the back; some have
| long fronts, others are long at the SIDES,
while many have hanging shoulder pieces in
| place of regular sleeves There are great
many black mantles, but there are also nu-
merous wraps in bronze brown, the various
shades of olive, heliotrope, ETC., with
beaded garnitures of harmonious hue. TAX
ing it all in ALL suits, costumes and wraps
have never offered superior attractions to
those of the present season.
